Bathroom Renovations Castlecrag: Professional Tiling & Waterproofing Specialists
Professional bathroom renovations in Castlecrag by licensed builders who specialise in tiling. From demolition to waterproofing to stunning finishes - we handle the complete wet area transformation. Free quotes!
Leerberg Tiling Pty Ltd has been renovating bathrooms in Castlecrag for over 50 years. We started as tilers - but after doing thousands of bathrooms, we realised we were already doing most of the renovation anyway!
Think about it - what IS a bathroom renovation really? It's ripping out old tiles, fixing whatever mess is hiding underneath (and trust me, there's ALWAYS something), waterproofing everything properly, then installing beautiful new tiles that'll last for decades. That's like... 80% of your bathroom renovation right there.
About Leerberg Tiling Pty Ltd - Three Generations of Bathroom Excellence
Started in the 70's by Christian Jep Leerberg, what began as a one-man tiling business in Castlecrag has grown into one of Sydney's most trusted bathroom renovation companies. But here's the thing - we're still a family business, and we still care about every single bathroom like it's our own.
The Leerberg Family Story
Christian Jep arrived from Denmark in the early 70s, with his wife Pia and 2 sons. with a trowel, a keen eye for detail, and that European obsession with doing things properly. Started tiling bathrooms, word spread, and 50 years later... well, here we are.
Today, three generations work side by side:
- Christian Jep Leerberg - The founder. Still comes to jobs, still points out if a tile is 1mm off level. Some things never change.
- Christian Peter Leerberg - Second generation, grew up on building sites. Runs the day-to-day operations and quotes.
- Nicolai Jep Leerberg - Third generation, bringing fresh ideas while maintaining our old-school quality standards.
We have contractors licences. Why? Because we each take personal responsibility for our work. No hiding behind company structures - if we do your bathroom, our name and reputation is literally on the line.

Got your own plumber? Electrician? No worries - we work with them all the time. Need recommendations? We've got trusted trades we've worked with for years. Either way works for us.
The point is, we handle ALL the messy, technical stuff that makes or breaks your bathroom renovation. You know, the stuff that actually matters when you're standing in the shower at 6am hoping water isn't leaking through to downstairs...
Real Bathroom Transformations
The owners had quotes from three "full service" renovators - all over $35,000. We did the complete wet area renovation for $12,000. They organised their own plumber to move some pipes and swap the fixtures. Saved them twenty grand and it looks absolutely stunning.
We did an apartment in Castlecrag. Tiny bathroom, maybe 2m x 2m. Previous renovation had tiles literally falling off the walls (installer used the wrong adhesive - drives me CRAZY when I see this). We gutted it, fixed the water damage, waterproofed it properly, and created this beautiful modern space with large format tiles that make it feel twice the size. Under $8,000 all up.

Why This Works So Well
Look, alot of people don't realise that "bathroom renovators" often just outsource the tiling anyway. They mark it up, you pay more, and half the time they use whoever's cheapest that week.
When you come direct to us - actual tilers with a builders licence - you get:
- 50+ years doing this exact work
- We know every possible problem (and how to fix it)
- No markup on the most expensive part of your renovation
- ONE team responsible for the critical waterproofing
- Perfect tile installation because that's literally what we do
The Process (How It Actually Works)
1. Free Quote
We come look at your bathroom. Takes about 30 minutes. We'll measure up, check what's behind the walls (as much as we can see), and give you honest advice about what needs doing.
2. Design Help
We can help with tile selection, layout, where to put the niches, all that stuff. Or if you've already got ideas, perfect - we'll make it happen.
3. Scheduling
Small bathroom? Usually 3-5 days. Bigger job? Maybe 5-7 days. We'll tell you exactly when we're starting and when you'll have your bathroom back.
4. The Actual Work
Demo day is dusty - not gonna lie. But we seal everything off, protect your house, and clean up properly each day. Then comes waterproofing (has to dry properly - no shortcuts), then the satisfying bit where your bathroom transforms with beautiful new tiles.
5. Other Trades
If plumbing needs moving, that happens after demo. Electricians usually come in before we tile. We coordinate it all so there's no standing around wasting time (and your money).
Common Questions
"Can you move my toilet/shower/vanity?"
We can remove them and prep the area. For actual relocating of pipes, you need a plumber. We work with several good ones if you need a recommendation.
"Do you do the whole renovation?"
We do everything that involves tiles and waterproofing - which is most of it! For plumbing and electrical, we coordinate with your trades or ours.
"What if we find problems?"
We ALWAYS find problems in older bathrooms. Rotten timber, dodgy waterproofing, creative plumbing... We'll show you what we find and give you options. No hiding anything, no surprise bills.
"How long before I can use my bathroom?"
Depends on the job, but usually 3-7 days. Got a second bathroom? Easy. Only got one? We'll work with you to minimise disruption - maybe we can set up a temporary situation.
Why Castlecrag Homes Need Proper Bathroom Renovations
The amount of water damage we see in Castlecrag bathrooms... honestly, its scary. That slow leak behind your shower? Its not getting better by itself. That cracked grout? Water's getting in there every single day.
We had one place where the bathroom looked "fine" - bit dated but functional. Pulled off the first tile and the whole wall came with it. Completely rotten. The waterproofing had failed years ago and nobody knew til we started work.
This is why we're so pedantic about waterproofing. Yeah, it adds a day to your renovation. Yeah, it costs more than dodgy operators who skip it. But mate, compared to ripping your bathroom out again in 5 years? Or dealing with insurance claims for water damage? Just do it right the first time!!
